Italian Language Program

At St Mary’s all children are immersed in the Italian language and culture through weekly lessons with specialist Italian language teacher Mrs Eleonora Taranto.  The students not only learn the Italian language in a step by step engaging way, but also learn about the Italian culture which so enriches our school and community.  Students can continue their studies in the Italian language all the way through to the Higher School Certificate at Marian Catholic College. 

Research tells us that learning a new language has a positive impact on the way children’s brains grow and on the cognitive skills associated with processing information.  It assists students to more easily focus on two tasks at once and think more analytically and can improve students'  memory and reasoning.
